The Property

Garnet House dates back to the early 18th century in parts, with later additions which further extend the accommodation. The current owners have been here for almost 35 years and during that time it has served fabulously well as a wonderful family home. The vaulted reception hall offers a grand entrance lobby before walking into the much cosier reception rooms. To the front of the property, you will find the three principle reception rooms, two of which are arranged around the stunning central fireplace. The rooms offer many period features including wooden flooring, exposed studwork and original timbers. To the rear of the house, there are two further rooms, namely the conservatory and play room. At the back of the house you will find the kitchen/breakfast room, which was added to the accommodation in the 1970s, by converting the former barn which was attached to the property. The kitchen is now the centerpiece of the home, with a high vaulted ceiling, exposed flints and a fine hand crafted kitchen, fit for family use and entertaining. To all four walls you will find a range of fitted base units, centred around a striking Aga and inset butlers sink. To the corner of the room you will find an integral five ring gas hob, with other built in appliances such as a dishwasher and fridge/freezer. A breakfast bar kicks into the centre of the room. Also on the ground floor is a rear lobby, pantry, boot room, utility and shower room. On the first floor are four excellently proportioned bedrooms with the master benefitting from a large dressing room. In addition, there is a refitted family bathroom. A further attic room can be accessed via the master bedroom cupboard which could be incorporated into the accommodation/bedrooms.



Outside

On approach, the driveway from The Green proceeds up to the property where two large double gates open out into the rear garden. The brick weave driveway continues further into the garden providing plenty of off road parking, and leads up to the timber outbuilding/garage. A paved pathway weaves through the lawns passing the purpose built BBQ & entertainment area, which is perfect for hosting alfresco parties in the summer. The grounds are nicely split with formal gardens immediately to the rear and further grassland and orchard areas beyond. The west facing grounds in total extend to approximately 0.85 acres (sts), which is incredibly rare for a property of this caliber in a village centre location. The vendors have expressed that a further field extending to approximately 1.15 acres (sts) may be available via separate negotiation.



Location

The desirable village of Palgrave is widely regarded for its traditional character and proximity to the market town of Diss. The village has an eclectic mix of properties from manor houses to newer builds with many properties centred around the village green and pond. The village itself has a church and primary school, with further facilities a 10 minute walk away within the town of Diss. The walk to Diss is rather pleasant as it weaves through meadowland and countryside before reaching the edge of the town centre. Diss has a real mix of traditional town stores and national chains located on the high street with a wide range of cafes, restaurants, bars, take aways and public houses. The town has schooling from infant to sixth form level and benefits vastly from day-to-day services such as Doctors, Pharmacies, Gyms and a Library. There is a main line railway station in Diss on the Norwich to London Liverpool Street line, a journey to London scheduled to take around 90 minutes. The A143 by-passes Palgrave leading to Bury St Edmunds, the A14 and wider motorway network beyond.
